\u2018I SERVE WITH JOY\u2019 Working to End \u201cHygiene Poverty\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many of the ways people are impacted by poverty are quite familiar including lack of access to healthy foods, affordable housing, childcare, as well as many other challenges.<\/p>\n

Another important issue has become more clear during the pandemic as individuals and families have struggled to meet another basic need: access to hygienic goods.<\/p>\n

\u2018I Serve with Joy\u2019 is addressing this issue head on by distributing \u201cFresh Start Kits\u201d to those in need of essential hygiene products.<\/p>\n

The Fresh Start Program was launched to serve families in the Charleston metro area who are struggling to afford essential hygiene products including soap, deodorant, toothbrushes, etc.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople shouldn\u2019t have to choose between eating or staying clean. Most of us take basic toiletries for granted, but too many of our neighbors are faced with difficult choices and minimal options when it comes to hygiene necessities. Hygiene poverty impacts physical and mental health, as well as educational success and employability. Fortunately, this is a problem we can solve.\u201d – Joy Campbell, ISWJ founder<\/p>\n

I Serve with Joy has already had great success distributing over 15,000 masks, thousands of bottles of hand sanitizer, and thousands of wireless earphones to individuals and organizations during the pandemic. Now they are turning their focus to address hygiene poverty by distributing 1000s of Fresh Start Kits to the community.<\/p>\n
